Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Heavitree
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we are called out for in Heavitree
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A suite that does not 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 booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Heavitree
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Heavitree?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Heavitree?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Heavitree and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Heavitree
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Heavitree, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Heavitree

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Heavitree?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
