About our coloured bath resurfacing in Michaelston-le-Pit

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Michaelston-le-Pit

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Michaelston-le-Pit. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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 the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Michaelston-le-Pit

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Michaelston-le-Pit

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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