We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alverthorpe as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Alverthorpe questions

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Alverthorpe?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Alverthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alverthorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Alverthorpe

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Alverthorpe?

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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