Coloured bath resurfacing in West Ashby

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in West Ashby

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for West Ashby. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in West Ashby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in West Ashby?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in West Ashby

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

West Ashby: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

We cover the whole UK, including West Ashby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

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

What we work on

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