Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkby la Thorpe, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirkby la Thorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Faded or patchy colour

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Kirkby la Thorpe

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
