About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mill Street

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Mill Street

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Mill Street

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you work in Mill Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mill Street. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

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

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Mill Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
