About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ickford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ickford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ickford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Ickford

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ickford.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When to call us in Ickford

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
