Coloured bath resurfacing in Plymouth, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Plymouth
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Plymouth?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Plymouth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Plymouth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Plymouth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
