Coloured bath resurfacing for Ridlington homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ridlington

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ridlington. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Ridlington: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
