Coloured suite to white in Kingston, Devon
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Kingston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kingston without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Kingston
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kingston. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kingston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Kingston
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Kingston
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Kingston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kingston and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
