Questions from Yelverton

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Yelverton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Yelverton

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Yelverton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Yelverton

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
