Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Appledore customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Appledore
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Appledore and across Devon. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Appledore
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Appledore contact us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Appledore questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Appledore?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Everywhere in the UK, Appledore included. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
