Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Lipson homes
Our technicians come to Lipson for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lipson
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
A town like Lipson has a mix of older houses and newer estates, which means a mix of cast iron, steel and acrylic baths. Each is repaired a little differently, and all are done in place.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Lipson
Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Lipson?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
I let a flat near Plymouth station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are there extra charges for Lipson?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lipson?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Jude's Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it. Around Lipson, parking is normally easy, so arranging the visit is straightforward. Tell us if the suite is upstairs or in a flat.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Around Lipson, a new suite rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Lipson clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our Pricing And Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Lipson and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair cannot fix
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 will give you a straight answer before booking.
