Coloured bath resurfacing for Mountsett homes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mountsett

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Mountsett

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Mountsett

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.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Mountsett

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
