Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirton

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Kirton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

10 questions to ask before you book

Kirton questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What affects the price in Kirton

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Kirton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
