About our coloured bath resurfacing in Axminster

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 a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Axminster

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Axminster

Do you work in Axminster?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Axminster from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Axminster clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Axminster. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Axminster and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
