About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newsham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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)

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newsham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common questions in Newsham

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Newsham.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Newsham included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Newsham?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR3 postcode.

Common problems we fix in Newsham

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

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Newsham

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire suite

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
