Coloured bath resurfacing in West Langdon

About our coloured bath resurfacing in West Langdon

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to West Langdon. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Langdon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Most customers in West Langdon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

West Langdon questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Langdon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What we are called out for in West Langdon

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
