Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Slapton

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Slapton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Slapton clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Slapton

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Slapton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Slapton

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Slapton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Slapton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Slapton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?

We work UK-wide, so Slapton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slapton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
