About our coloured bath resurfacing in Winchelsea

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Winchelsea

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winchelsea

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Winchelsea questions

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 before the end of a tenancy.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Winchelsea?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What affects the price in Winchelsea

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winchelsea. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
