Coloured bath resurfacing near Buckland

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Buckland

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Buckland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: 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 quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Buckland?

  • Faded or patchy colour

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions from Buckland

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Buckland?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Buckland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
