Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Smallburn

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Smallburn without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Smallburn

Do you cover Smallburn?

We do. We send a technician to Smallburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Smallburn?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Smallburn

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KA18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
