The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in Buckland
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- 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 your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Buckland. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Buckland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Buckland
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Buckland?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
