Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Wilmington

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wilmington without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Wilmington

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wilmington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Wilmington clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Wilmington get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wilmington

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Wilmington

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hull.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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