About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kingskerswell

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingskerswell

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingskerswell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Kingskerswell

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What affects the price in Kingskerswell

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
