Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashwellthorpe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ashwellthorpe without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashwellthorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Ashwellthorpe questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ashwellthorpe.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
