Coloured suite to white in Sourton, Devon
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Sourton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sourton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sourton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Sourton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
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.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
