Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Silverburn

Coloured bath resurfacing in Silverburn, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Silverburn

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Silverburn. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Silverburn get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Silverburn

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Silverburn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Silverburn. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Silverburn

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
