Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Bishopsgarth

What affects the price in Bishopsgarth

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bishopsgarth

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, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bishopsgarth as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bishopsgarth

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
