Coloured bath resurfacing for Darley homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Darley

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, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Darley

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Darley

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Darley customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
