Coloured bath resurfacing for Leaden Knowl homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Leaden Knowl

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Leaden Knowl

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Leaden Knowl

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Leaden Knowl. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Leaden Knowl, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Leaden Knowl questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Leaden Knowl and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
