Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rattery

A full suite is generally 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 selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you come to Rattery?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rattery. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

What affects the price in Rattery

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rattery, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Rattery clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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