About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Knowley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Knowley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Great Knowley

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you cover Great Knowley?

We do. We send a technician to Great Knowley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Knowley

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Great Knowley. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Great Knowley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
