Coloured bath resurfacing for Upperthong homes

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Upperthong

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upperthong, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Upperthong

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Upperthong?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Upperthong, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Upperthong

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Upperthong. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire suite

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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.

What we work on

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