About our coloured bath resurfacing in Salthouse

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Salthouse as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Salthouse

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salthouse use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Salthouse

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
