Coloured bath resurfacing in Tixall

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tixall, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tixall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Tixall get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Tixall

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Tixall and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you come to Tixall?

We do. We send a technician to Tixall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tixall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Tixall

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
