Coloured bath resurfacing in Downton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Downton

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO41 postcode.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you cover Downton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Downton and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Downton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Downton customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Downton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
