Coloured bath resurfacing in Steeton without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Steeton

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Steeton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Steeton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bradford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When to call us in Steeton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BD20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
