How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sidmouth

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sidmouth

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Sidmouth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sidmouth and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Sidmouth included. Travel is included in the price.

Repair or replace in Sidmouth?

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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Sidmouth

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sidmouth

If you manage property in Sidmouth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What affects the price in Sidmouth

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sidmouth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
