Coloured bath resurfacing in Sheldon

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sheldon, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sheldon

When can you do it?

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

Do you work in Sheldon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sheldon and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Sheldon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common problems we fix in Sheldon

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sheldon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Sheldon, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
