Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Longley

What happens on the day

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 any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Longley, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Longley. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Longley

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Longley?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Longley

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 you book.
