Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Dartington
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dartington included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What we’re called out for in Dartington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?

- Most jobs done in one visit
