Coloured bath resurfacing for Brafferton homes

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brafferton

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO61 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Brafferton

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Questions from Brafferton

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you come to Brafferton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Brafferton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your YO61 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Brafferton

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brafferton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Landlord and trade work in Brafferton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brafferton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
