When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wattlesborough Heath

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wattlesborough Heath

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wattlesborough Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Wattlesborough Heath

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Wattlesborough Heath

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Wattlesborough Heath

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Wattlesborough Heath. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Wattlesborough Heath questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
