Coloured bath resurfacing near Estover

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Estover without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used 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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Estover

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Estover and the rest of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Estover?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Estover and the rest of Plymouth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Estover. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Estover

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
