Coloured bath resurfacing in Aughton

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Aughton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aughton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO42 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Aughton

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Aughton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
