How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Vale of Health

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Vale of Health

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to Vale of Health?

We do. We send a technician to Vale of Health for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Vale of Health?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Vale of Health

Repairing versus replacing in Vale of Health

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Vale of Health. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Vale of Health, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
