Coloured bath resurfacing for Milburn homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Milburn

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

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Milburn

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Milburn: your questions answered

Do you come to Milburn?

We do. Technicians travel to Milburn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Milburn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Milburn?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
