Coloured bath resurfacing near Higher Bal

Coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Bal without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Higher Bal

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Bal?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR5 postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What affects the price in Higher Bal

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Higher Bal get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 booking.
