Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Upton Pyne

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Upton Pyne

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Upton Pyne

Do you come to Upton Pyne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upton Pyne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Repair or replace in Upton Pyne?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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 us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When to call us in Upton Pyne

  • 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 coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upton Pyne. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
