How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Okehampton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Okehampton

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Common questions in Okehampton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Okehampton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Okehampton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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)

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

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
