Coloured bath resurfacing near Ashburton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashburton without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TQ13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Ashburton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashburton

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

If you manage property in Ashburton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Ashburton questions

Do you cover Ashburton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ashburton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about the toilet?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
