If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Meadowfield

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meadowfield

If you manage property in Meadowfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Meadowfield

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace in Meadowfield?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Meadowfield

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

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

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
