How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Millbrook

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Millbrook clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • A fixed quote before booking

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Most clients in Millbrook get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Millbrook and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Millbrook

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Millbrook

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
