Coloured bath resurfacing for Robin Hood homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Robin Hood

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Robin Hood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Robin Hood

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of Leeds?

We cover the entire UK, including Robin Hood and the rest of Leeds. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
