Coloured bath resurfacing near Broadwath

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Broadwath

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Broadwath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Broadwath questions

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Broadwath?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Broadwath?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Broadwath

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Broadwath. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Broadwath, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
