About our coloured bath resurfacing in Southburn

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

FAQs for Southburn

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Southburn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southburn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
