How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Slaithwaite

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

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 job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Slaithwaite

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

FAQs for Slaithwaite

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Slaithwaite?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Slaithwaite and the rest of Kirklees. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kirklees.
