Coloured bath resurfacing in Eggbuckland without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Eggbuckland

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Which areas do you work in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Eggbuckland?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When to call us in Eggbuckland

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eggbuckland

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Eggbuckland

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Eggbuckland. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Eggbuckland, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
