Coloured bath resurfacing for Featherstone homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Featherstone

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Featherstone

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Featherstone

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Featherstone

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
