Lynton questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Lynton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lynton and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lynton

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 regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Lynton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Lynton?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Lynton

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

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