Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Newton Abbot homes
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Newton Abbot: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newton Abbot
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton Abbot
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Newton Abbot: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newton Abbot?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TQ12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Newton Abbot. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Abbot as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
