About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newton Ferrers

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Newton Ferrers

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newton Ferrers. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Landlord and trade work in Newton Ferrers

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Newton Ferrers

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

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Newton Ferrers

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Newton Ferrers?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newton Ferrers from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
