Coloured bath resurfacing in Aycliffe Village

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Aycliffe Village

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Aycliffe Village and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Aycliffe Village

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Aycliffe Village?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DL5 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Aycliffe Village

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Aycliffe Village

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

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.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
