Coloured suite to white in Bickleigh, Plymouth
We travel to Bickleigh for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bickleigh
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
In a village or hamlet like Bickleigh, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Bickleigh
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Replacement in Bickleigh means trades, travel and waste removal, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our Pricing And Guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Bickleigh
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bickleigh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Bickleigh: your questions answered
I let a flat near Bere Ferrers station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.
Will you travel to Bickleigh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bickleigh?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Bickleigh contact us are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
In the older streets of Bickleigh, around landmarks like Church of St Mary, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Somewhere like Bickleigh needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the coloured bath resurfacing comes with us in one trip.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
