Coloured bath resurfacing near Bournmoor

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bournmoor

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bournmoor: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you cover Bournmoor?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bournmoor and the rest of Sunderland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Sunderland.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Bournmoor get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Bournmoor clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
