Coloured bath resurfacing for Ashgate homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ashgate

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Ashgate

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Ashgate

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

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

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
