Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Axbridge

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing in Axbridge, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to 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 a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Axbridge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Axbridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Axbridge

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Axbridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
