Coloured bath resurfacing in Whiddon Down without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

In a village like Whiddon Down, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes. For a rural address like Whiddon Down, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the coloured bath resurfacing comes with us in one trip.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Whiddon Down?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Older homes around Whiddon Down may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
