Coloured bath resurfacing in Hilderthorpe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hilderthorpe without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Hilderthorpe questions

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
