Coloured bath resurfacing in Chagford without replacing anything

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

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Chagford

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Chagford: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

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

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chagford

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chagford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
