Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in West Drayton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do you come to West Drayton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Drayton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Most clients in West Drayton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in West Drayton

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in West Drayton

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

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 photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Drayton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
