Coloured bath resurfacing in Akroydon

Coloured bath resurfacing in Akroydon without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Akroydon

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HX3 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Akroydon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Akroydon and the rest of Calderdale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Akroydon. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HX3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Akroydon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £350. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Akroydon customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
