Repairing versus replacing in Earl Sterndale

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Earl Sterndale

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • 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)

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Earl Sterndale, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
