Coloured bath resurfacing for Dunsley homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dunsley

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dunsley and across North Yorkshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Dunsley

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you work in Dunsley?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dunsley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunsley

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Dunsley. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
