Coloured bath resurfacing near Ayton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ayton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ayton. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Ayton

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Ayton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ayton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When to call us in Ayton

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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.
