Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Milford on Sea

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Milford on Sea questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work in Milford on Sea?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Milford on Sea and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO41 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For a price in Milford on Sea, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
