Coloured bath resurfacing in Tilmanstone

Common problems we fix in Tilmanstone

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tilmanstone

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tilmanstone and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Tilmanstone

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Tilmanstone, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tilmanstone

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
