Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Aller Grove

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Aller Grove

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Aller Grove

Do you cover Aller Grove?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Aller Grove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Aller Grove?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Aller Grove

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aller Grove, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
