Coloured bath resurfacing for Newtown homes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newtown and across Devon. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newtown. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Newtown questions

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX36 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
