Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Maindee

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Maindee. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Maindee, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Maindee

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Maindee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When to call us in Maindee

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

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Maindee

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What about the toilet?

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

Are there extra charges for Maindee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
