How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Compton

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torbay. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Compton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Compton contact us are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Compton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Compton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Compton

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Compton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ3 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Compton.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Compton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torbay and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
