Coloured bath resurfacing in Drimpton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Drimpton without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

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

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Drimpton: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Drimpton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Drimpton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Drimpton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drimpton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drimpton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
