Coloured bath resurfacing in Kingswear, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Kingswear

If you manage property in Kingswear, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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 can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Kingswear

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Kingswear

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Kingswear questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kingswear. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
