Need coloured bath resurfacing in Burlescombe?

How it works

Your technician turns 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 any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Burlescombe

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burlescombe as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Burlescombe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from Burlescombe

What about the toilet?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Burlescombe?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Burlescombe customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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 usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Burlescombe. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Burlescombe

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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 booking.
