Coloured bath resurfacing for Hillborough homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hillborough without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Hillborough

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Hillborough clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Hillborough

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hillborough. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hillborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hillborough

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hillborough

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Hillborough

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
