Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ilminster
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire suite
For a price in Ilminster, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ilminster, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

When to call us in Ilminster
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
