Coloured bath resurfacing near Nether Exe

Landlord and trade work in Nether Exe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Nether Exe

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Nether Exe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
