- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Buckfastleigh without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Buckfastleigh

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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
