Coloured bath resurfacing in Overthorpe

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Overthorpe

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Overthorpe: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Overthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Overthorpe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Overthorpe.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Overthorpe

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Overthorpe clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, 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. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
