Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Ashmore

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashmore without replacing anything

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

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Ashmore

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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 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 it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 booking.

FAQs for Ashmore

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wiltshire.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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.
