Coloured bath resurfacing for Turnpike Lane homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Turnpike Lane

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Turnpike Lane

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Turnpike Lane

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Turnpike Lane?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Turnpike Lane. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Turnpike Lane

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlords, agents and businesses in Turnpike Lane

For anyone letting property in or around Turnpike Lane, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your N8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
