About our coloured bath resurfacing in Harbertonford
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Harbertonford?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Harbertonford
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Harbertonford?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TQ9 postcode.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harbertonford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
