Coloured bath resurfacing in Fenham

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fenham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fenham

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Fenham?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Fenham, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
