How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in East Hedleyhope

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from East Hedleyhope

What areas do you cover?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in East Hedleyhope?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in East Hedleyhope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to East Hedleyhope. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in East Hedleyhope

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

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
