Coloured bath resurfacing in Bradford

Repairing versus replacing in Bradford

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Bradford clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bradford, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Bradford

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

FAQs for Bradford

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bradford?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bradford.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What we are called out for in Bradford

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bradford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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, usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
