Coloured bath resurfacing for St Stephens homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Stephens

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Every job is backed for twelve months in St Stephens and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for St Stephens

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in St Stephens?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Stephens from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes St Stephens. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to St Stephens. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Stephens?

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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 you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
