Coloured bath resurfacing near Wakefield

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wakefield without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Wakefield

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Wakefield: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wakefield.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wakefield

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
