Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chilton Moor

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Chilton Moor

Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Chilton Moor?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What affects the price in Chilton Moor

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chilton Moor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Chilton Moor

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Chilton Moor?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
