About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ashwater

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Ashwater, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Ashwater: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Ashwater

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Ashwater

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
