Coloured bath resurfacing in Stape 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. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Stape

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

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

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Stape?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Stape. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stape

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
