Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Washford
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Washford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Washford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Washford
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Washford?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
