About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shaldon

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shaldon

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaldon as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Shaldon

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Shaldon: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Most clients in Shaldon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Shaldon

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Shaldon. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shaldon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
