How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Brotherton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brotherton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole suite

For a price in Brotherton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Brotherton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

We turn 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 a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer

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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Brotherton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
