Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Winkleigh

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Winkleigh

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Winkleigh

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Winkleigh?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Winkleigh: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Winkleigh. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Winkleigh, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winkleigh

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
