Coloured bath resurfacing in Tillington, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.

Somewhere as small as Tillington, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Tillington: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Tillington?

We do: small places like Tillington are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Tillington?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Tillington?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Tillington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tillington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again. Somewhere as small as Tillington, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What affects the price in Tillington

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Tillington?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Replacement in Tillington means trades, travel and waste removal, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What we are called out for in Tillington

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as The Parish Church of All Hallows, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
