Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Long Ashton

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Long Ashton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Ashton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Long Ashton

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Long Ashton

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Long Ashton: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Long Ashton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What about the toilet?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Long Ashton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
