Coloured bath resurfacing in Temple Hirst

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Temple Hirst?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Temple Hirst

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Temple Hirst and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Temple Hirst

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO8 postcode.

What happens on the day

When we visit, 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. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
