Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Welford

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. 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. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Welford

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, 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.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Welford

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Welford

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Welford

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

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

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Welford

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
