Coloured bath resurfacing near Woodhouses

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Woodhouses

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Woodhouses: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you come to Woodhouses?

We do. We send a technician to Woodhouses for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Woodhouses

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodhouses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhouses use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Woodhouses

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Woodhouses?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
