Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Newton-on-Ouse

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Newton-on-Ouse without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Newton-on-Ouse questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Newton-on-Ouse?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you come to Newton-on-Ouse?

We do. We send a technician to Newton-on-Ouse for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Newton-on-Ouse and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newton-on-Ouse

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 these signs:

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

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Newton-on-Ouse

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
