Need coloured bath resurfacing in Hockerton?

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Hockerton clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hockerton

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Most clients in Hockerton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Hockerton

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hockerton?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG25 postcode.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
