Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Combe
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Combe.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Combe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Combe and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Combe?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
