Coloured bath resurfacing near Whitchurch

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Whitchurch, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Whitchurch

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Whitchurch: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Whitchurch and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before booking.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Whitchurch and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
