Coloured bath resurfacing in Exton

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Exton

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Exton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Exton?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Exton questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Exton.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
