About our coloured bath resurfacing in Alnwick

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Alnwick. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Alnwick get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Alnwick

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
