How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thornicombe
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, 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.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornicombe
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Thornicombe
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
