About our coloured bath resurfacing in Digby
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
In and around Digby, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. In a smaller place like Digby, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Advice
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Digby
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Rented homes near Digby & Sowton station (in Digby itself) change hands often, and repairing coloured suites between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. In a smaller place like Digby, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Digby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK

Questions from Digby
My house in Digby is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Usually: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We will give you an honest view from photos.
I let a flat near Digby & Sowton station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. Send pictures and the address, and we’ll quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
If you are in Digby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
