Coloured bath resurfacing in Bradford, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Bradford
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Bradford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
