Coloured bath resurfacing for West Devon homes

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in West Devon

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in West Devon

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so West Devon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in West Devon?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in West Devon

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in West Devon

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in West Devon

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in West Devon

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.
