How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Low Coniscliffe

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Low Coniscliffe

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Low Coniscliffe

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Low Coniscliffe: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are you accredited?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
