Coloured bath resurfacing for Heslington homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Heslington

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

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Heslington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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 coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price
