When to call us in Penstone
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Coloured bath resurfacing in Penstone, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Penstone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Penstone
If you manage property in Penstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
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.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Penstone clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Penstone
Are there extra charges for Penstone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is it messy?
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 Penstone?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
