Coloured bath resurfacing in Lydiate Ash, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • 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 before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B61 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydiate Ash

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Lydiate Ash questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydiate Ash

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Lydiate Ash clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
