Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Dawlish Warren

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Dawlish Warren questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX7 postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn 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. Most visits take 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. 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, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
