How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Warren Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Warren Hill: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you cover Warren Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Warren Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Warren Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Warren Hill

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Warren Hill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Warren Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Warren Hill

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

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 generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Warren Hill

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
