Coloured suite to white in Shirwell Cross, Devon

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shirwell Cross, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shirwell Cross
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Shirwell Cross and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Shirwell Cross
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Shirwell Cross
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Shirwell Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Shirwell Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
