Need coloured bath resurfacing in Woodhouses?

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Woodhouses

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Woodhouses questions

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Woodhouses?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What about the toilet?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
