Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Firbeck

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Firbeck, done in place

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. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Firbeck, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Firbeck

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What do you need from me?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Firbeck?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S81 postcode.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we’re called out for in Firbeck

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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