Coloured bath resurfacing in East Anstey, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in East Anstey
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. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
