Coloured bath resurfacing in Otley

Coloured bath resurfacing in Otley without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Otley: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leeds.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

  • Faded or patchy colour

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Otley
