Coloured bath resurfacing in Hollacombe without replacing anything
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 coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Hollacombe questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Hollacombe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
