Coloured bath resurfacing for Pool homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pool, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pool. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Pool

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Our work in Pool

Pool is about 10 miles north of Tavistock, in Devon. From the centre of Pool to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Pool is one of 586 places in Devon where we work.

All of EX20 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover the places around Pool: Bridestowe (1 mile south-west), Sourton (1 mile east), Thorndon Cross (3 miles north), Lydford (3 miles south) and Bratton Clovelly (4 miles west). Further out, we also cover Tavistock (10 miles south), Okehampton (6 miles north-east), Holsworthy (14 miles north-west), Tiddy Brook Meadows (11 miles south), Bere Alston (15 miles south) and Hatherleigh (9 miles north).

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Pool

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you come to Pool?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pool from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Pool?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
