How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tawstock
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Tawstock
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tawstock
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK, and that includes Tawstock. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace in Tawstock?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Tawstock
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Tawstock. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole suite
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
