Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Branscombe

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Branscombe

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Branscombe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Branscombe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Branscombe and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Branscombe included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
