Coloured bath resurfacing in Bulverton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bulverton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Bulverton questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Bulverton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bulverton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bulverton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Bulverton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

For a price in Bulverton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bulverton. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 give you a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Bulverton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Bulverton contact us are:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
