How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Asby
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Great Asby questions
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Great Asby?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire suite
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Asby, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Great Asby
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
