Coloured bath resurfacing near Tyttenhanger

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tyttenhanger

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Tyttenhanger

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

What affects the price in Tyttenhanger

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyttenhanger

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tyttenhanger as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
