Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Redhall

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Redhall

Coloured bath resurfacing in Redhall without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Redhall clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Redhall

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Redhall?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH14 postcode.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you come to Redhall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Redhall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What affects the price in Redhall

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Redhall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redhall

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently 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.
