Coloured bath resurfacing near Haswell Moor

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Haswell Moor

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Haswell Moor

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Haswell Moor?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will there be a smell?

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DH6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Haswell Moor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

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.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
