Common questions in Tempsford

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tempsford

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tempsford?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Tempsford

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Tempsford customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlord and trade work in Tempsford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Tempsford

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Tempsford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price
