For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Battledown Cross
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Battledown Cross
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace in Battledown Cross?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
