Coloured bath resurfacing in Otterburn

Coloured bath resurfacing in Otterburn 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. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Otterburn

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Otterburn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Otterburn

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Otterburn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Otterburn and the rest of Northumberland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Otterburn. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
