Coloured bath resurfacing near Lympstone

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lympstone

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

Lympstone questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lympstone. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lympstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in Lympstone

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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