About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ebford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new 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 avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Ebford

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not 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 a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ebford. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Ebford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
