Coloured bath resurfacing in Skerne Park

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Skerne Park

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

Every job is backed for twelve months in Skerne Park and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through 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. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Skerne Park. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
