Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Horbury

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Horbury, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Horbury

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Horbury.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Horbury

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
