Coloured bath resurfacing for Ash Mill homes

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX36 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ash Mill, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Ash Mill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Ash Mill

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Ash Mill

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ash Mill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ash Mill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Ash Mill customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
