About our coloured bath resurfacing in Colyton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Colyton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

When to call us in Colyton

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Colyton clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colyton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Colyton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Colyton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Colyton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
