Coloured bath resurfacing near Donaghadee

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Donaghadee without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

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

Common questions in Donaghadee

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you cover Donaghadee?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Donaghadee and the rest of Ards. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donaghadee

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
