About our coloured bath resurfacing in Abbotskerswell
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Abbotskerswell
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Abbotskerswell. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Abbotskerswell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites

Abbotskerswell: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Abbotskerswell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Abbotskerswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Abbotskerswell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
