Coloured bath resurfacing in Ferryhill

Repairing versus replacing in Ferryhill

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ferryhill

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ferryhill

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ferryhill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ferryhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Ferryhill questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you work in Ferryhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ferryhill. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ferryhill.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What areas do you cover?

All of Aberdeen, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What affects the price in Ferryhill

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
