Coloured bath resurfacing in Lesbury, done in place

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

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Lesbury: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?

All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lesbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
