Coloured bath resurfacing near Milby

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Coloured bath resurfacing in Milby without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Milby?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Milby. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Milby

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Milby?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO51 postcode.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Milby. Prices do not change with location.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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