FAQs for Yetminster

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Yetminster without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Yetminster, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do 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)

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Yetminster

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Yetminster, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
