How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hellington

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Hellington: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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.

Are there extra charges for Hellington?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
