Coloured bath resurfacing in Brixham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Brixham, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Brixham

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

FAQs for Brixham

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you cover the entire of Torbay?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Brixham

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
