Coloured bath resurfacing in Filleigh, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Filleigh

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Filleigh, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Filleigh

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
