Coloured bath resurfacing in Melmerby, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Melmerby?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Melmerby?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

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