Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Kelham

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Kelham

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Kelham questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Kelham?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
