Coloured bath resurfacing near Halberton

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Halberton

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Peace of mind is built in: 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Halberton. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Halberton questions

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Halberton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Halberton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Halberton and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Halberton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Halberton

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
