About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tringford

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tringford as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When to call us in Tringford

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tringford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Tringford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Questions from Tringford

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tringford.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Tringford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
