Coloured bath resurfacing in Torquay, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
