Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Tavistock homes
We travel to Tavistock for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tavistock
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
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 coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tavistock?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tavistock use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tavistock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Tavistock
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
