Coloured bath resurfacing in Chapelthorpe, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Chapelthorpe

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chapelthorpe

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Chapelthorpe questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
