Coloured bath resurfacing near Colegate End

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Colegate End

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Colegate End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Colegate End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colegate End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Colegate End

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Colegate End?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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, a professional repair is worth it.
