Coloured bath resurfacing in Noak Hill

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Noak Hill

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 dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Noak Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Noak Hill

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Noak Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Noak Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Noak Hill

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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