Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Drub

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

We work UK-wide, so Drub is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Drub.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Drub, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites

What affects the price in Drub

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

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

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

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

Why choose Surface Doctor in Drub

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you 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. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When to call us in Drub

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
