Coloured bath resurfacing in Lyminster

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lyminster, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lyminster

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lyminster?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Lyminster?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lyminster

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Lyminster questions

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, 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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
