Axmouth: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Repair or replace in Axmouth?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

What affects the price in Axmouth
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Axmouth
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
