Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tye Green

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • 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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tye Green, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tye Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Tye Green

Do I have to be there?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Tye Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tye Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tye Green. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tye Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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 frequently lifts.

The process

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

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
