Coloured bath resurfacing in Honiton

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Honiton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Honiton

Are there extra charges for Honiton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What about the toilet?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Honiton

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Honiton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Honiton

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
