Need coloured bath resurfacing in Palterton?

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Palterton

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Repair or replace in Palterton?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
