Coloured suite to white in Tatworth, Somerset
We travel to Tatworth for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tatworth
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Tatworth: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Tatworth?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, 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 will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
