Coloured bath resurfacing in Kibblesworth without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kibblesworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Kibblesworth

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Kibblesworth?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE11 postcode.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Kibblesworth

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Kibblesworth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
