Coloured bath resurfacing near Melvich

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Melvich without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Melvich

For anyone letting property in or around Melvich, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melvich use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for 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’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
