Coloured bath resurfacing in Westcombe, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Westcombe

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
