About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tiverton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Tiverton
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.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A suite that doesn’t 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
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
