Coloured bath resurfacing in South Tawton

About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Tawton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

South Tawton questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for South Tawton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

In fairness, 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
