Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pateley Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pateley Bridge

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

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

Questions from Pateley Bridge

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Pateley Bridge?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What affects the price in Pateley Bridge

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Pateley Bridge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Pateley Bridge

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

Landlord and trade work in Pateley Bridge

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
