Coloured bath resurfacing in Five Ash Down without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Five Ash Down. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Five Ash Down questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Five Ash Down?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Five Ash Down

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

When to call us in Five Ash Down

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
