Coloured bath resurfacing in Waldridge without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Waldridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Waldridge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Waldridge and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Waldridge?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Waldridge

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

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

Repair or replace in Waldridge?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Waldridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Waldridge customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

What we’re called out for in Waldridge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Waldridge. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
