Coloured bath resurfacing for Motcombe homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Motcombe

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Motcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Motcombe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Motcombe: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Motcombe

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Motcombe

For anyone letting property in or around Motcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
