Need coloured bath resurfacing in Tang Hall?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Tang Hall customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tang Hall without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For a price in Tang Hall, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tang Hall?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Tang Hall

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Tang Hall questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
