Coloured bath resurfacing near Hardwick

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hardwick, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardwick

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hardwick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Hardwick questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Hardwick?

We do. Technicians travel to Hardwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Hardwick

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
