Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in North End

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in North End

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole suite

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.

Landlord and trade work in North End

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in North End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in North End

North End questions

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What about the toilet?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, North End included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

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

Repair or replace in North End?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for North End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When to call us in North End

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
