Coloured bath resurfacing in Sparkwell, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Sparkwell
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sparkwell.
Landlord and trade work in Sparkwell
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sparkwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sparkwell. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Sparkwell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
