Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Billockby

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Billockby

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you cover Billockby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Billockby. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR29 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it messy?

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white 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 choose Surface Doctor in Billockby

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
