Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cheriton Fitzpaine
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cheriton Fitzpaine as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Cheriton Fitzpaine
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What affects the price in Cheriton Fitzpaine
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
