Coloured bath resurfacing for Milkwell homes

What we can’t put right

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Milkwell, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Milkwell

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Milkwell

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Milkwell

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you come to Milkwell?

We do. We send a technician to Milkwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
