Coloured bath resurfacing for Yelland homes

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Coloured bath resurfacing in Yelland, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Yelland: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

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

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What areas do you cover?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Yelland

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yelland

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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