About our coloured bath resurfacing in Oreston
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oreston and across Plymouth. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Oreston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Oreston?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

Oreston: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL9 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Oreston included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
