Coloured bath resurfacing in Four Ashes, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Four Ashes and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Four Ashes

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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 messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Four Ashes?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP31 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repairing versus replacing in Four Ashes

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
