Coloured bath resurfacing for Burnrigg homes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Burnrigg

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Burnrigg

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Burnrigg questions

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Burnrigg, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Burnrigg

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
