Coloured bath resurfacing near West Stour

When a repair isn’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in West Stour

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in West Stour without replacing anything

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. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Stour as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in West Stour

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SP8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for West Stour

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Common problems we fix in West Stour

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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