Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Holbeton homes
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Holbeton: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Holbeton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Holbeton
Do you come to Holbeton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Holbeton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Also in Holbeton
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Holbeton
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.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why Holbeton customers choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- Generally one visit, start to finish
