When to call us in Teignmouth
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Teignmouth
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Teignmouth: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you come to Teignmouth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Teignmouth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Teignmouth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
