Coloured bath resurfacing for Buckland Brewer homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Buckland Brewer

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Buckland Brewer

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

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Buckland Brewer questions

Do you work in Buckland Brewer?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Buckland Brewer. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Buckland Brewer?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour 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.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckland Brewer use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
