Coloured bath resurfacing in Dronfield, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace in Dronfield?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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 few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Dronfield

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Dronfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dronfield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dronfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
