How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Oakenshaw

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

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Oakenshaw

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you work in Oakenshaw?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Oakenshaw and the rest of Bradford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Oakenshaw?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakenshaw as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Oakenshaw

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
