Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Midanbury

Coloured bath resurfacing in Midanbury without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Midanbury: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work in Midanbury?

We do. We send a technician to Midanbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Midanbury

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Midanbury

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Midanbury clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Midanbury get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Midanbury

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
