Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in New Inn
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Inn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Questions from New Inn
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
When to call us in New Inn
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 before you book.
