Coloured bath resurfacing in Bovey Tracey without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bovey Tracey
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Bovey Tracey?
We do. We send a technician to Bovey Tracey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When to call us in Bovey Tracey
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
