Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Puriton. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Puriton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, 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, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Puriton
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TA7 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Repairing versus replacing in Puriton
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Puriton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Puriton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
