How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bishop's Nympton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bishop's Nympton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Bishop's Nympton questions

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
