Coloured bath resurfacing near Simmondley

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Simmondley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Simmondley

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Simmondley

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
