About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ipplepen

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Ipplepen get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Ipplepen

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ipplepen as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ipplepen

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Ipplepen

Questions from Ipplepen

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ipplepen?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ12 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Ipplepen?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ipplepen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
