How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hendon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hendon, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hendon and across Sunderland. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Hendon

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Hendon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hendon

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hendon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
