Coloured bath resurfacing in Ivybridge without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Ivybridge
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Ivybridge
Do you work in Ivybridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ivybridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ivybridge?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ivybridge use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ivybridge. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ivybridge
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
