Coloured bath resurfacing in Templecombe

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Templecombe, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Templecombe

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

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repair or replace in Templecombe?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Templecombe. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Templecombe

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
