Coloured bath resurfacing near Haverthwaite

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Haverthwaite

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 regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Haverthwaite, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Haverthwaite

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair
