Coloured bath resurfacing in Cullivoe

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cullivoe

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

FAQs for Cullivoe

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Cullivoe?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
