Coloured bath resurfacing for Ashton homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ashton

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What we are called out for in Ashton

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.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ashton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Ashton: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA19 postcode.

Are there extra charges for Ashton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ashton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Ashton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Ashton?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • One price list for the whole UK
