About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ashford in the Water

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ashford in the Water

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ashford in the Water?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Common problems we fix in Ashford in the Water

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Ashford in the Water

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
