How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sandway

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Sandway

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sandway

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Sandway, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
