Coloured bath resurfacing for Dornie homes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dornie

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Dornie

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
