What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in East Buckland

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 work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for East Buckland

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in East Buckland?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in East Buckland?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.
