Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashby de la Launde

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Ashby de la Launde

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashby de la Launde without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashby de la Launde

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Ashby de la Launde questions

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ashby de la Launde included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashby de la Launde. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
