Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mannamead

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mannamead and across Plymouth. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Mannamead

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Mannamead?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Are there extra charges for Mannamead?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite

Most customers in Mannamead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
