How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tytherleigh

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Tytherleigh questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Tytherleigh

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

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What affects the price in Tytherleigh

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tytherleigh. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • 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.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
