Repair or replace in Thorverton?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thorverton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thorverton

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Thorverton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Thorverton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

For landlords and businesses

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
