Coloured bath resurfacing near Waterloo

Common problems we fix in Waterloo

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Waterloo

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Waterloo

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Waterloo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Waterloo

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Waterloo?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
