Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Black Dog homes
Our repair technicians come to Black Dog for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Black Dog without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the whole UK, including Black Dog and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX17 postcode.

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Black Dog customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What else we do in Black Dog
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Black Dog. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Black Dog. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
