  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Our hiring checklist

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dovendale

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Dovendale: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Dovendale?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dovendale, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
