Coloured bath resurfacing in Swimbridge without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Swimbridge. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Swimbridge
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Swimbridge and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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

Repair or replace in Swimbridge?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
