Coloured bath resurfacing near Upper Milton

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Milton without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Upper Milton

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite

For a price in Upper Milton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise 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.

FAQs for Upper Milton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Upper Milton and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing 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 BA5 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
