Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Monkton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Monkton: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Monkton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Monkton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What affects the price in Monkton

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Monkton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Monkton?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
