Coloured bath resurfacing in Howsham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Howsham

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Howsham: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

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

For anyone letting property in or around Howsham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Howsham?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
