Coloured bath resurfacing in Netherthorpe without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Netherthorpe

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Netherthorpe questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When to call us in Netherthorpe

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
