Coloured bath resurfacing in Jacobstowe without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Jacobstowe
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Jacobstowe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. 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
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again

Common questions in Jacobstowe
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We work UK-wide, so Jacobstowe is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Jacobstowe.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Jacobstowe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Jacobstowe and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Jacobstowe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
