Coloured bath resurfacing near Ashley

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashley without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Questions from Ashley

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When to call us in Ashley

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Ashley

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashley. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashley

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
