Coloured bath resurfacing in Newthorpe

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Newthorpe

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newthorpe

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Common questions in Newthorpe

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Newthorpe customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newthorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Newthorpe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
