About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Kilvington

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in South Kilvington

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Repair or replace in South Kilvington?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

What affects the price in South Kilvington

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price
