How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in High Bickington

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in High Bickington

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Bickington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in High Bickington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

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

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
