Coloured bath resurfacing near Holywell

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Holywell

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Holywell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you work in Holywell?

We do. Technicians travel to Holywell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Holywell?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
