Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Torwood

A full suite is generally done in one to 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 selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Common problems we fix in Torwood

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Torwood

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Torwood?

We do. We send a technician to Torwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
