Coloured bath resurfacing in Salcombe Regis

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Salcombe Regis

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done 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. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common problems we fix in Salcombe Regis

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Salcombe Regis

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Salcombe Regis, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Salcombe Regis

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salcombe Regis as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Salcombe Regis: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
