Need coloured bath resurfacing in Bushmills?

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bushmills, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Bushmills questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

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 without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

What happens on the day

  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.

Common problems we fix in Bushmills

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

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

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bushmills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Bushmills, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
