Coloured bath resurfacing in Whiddon, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Whiddon: your questions answered
Do you come to Whiddon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whiddon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Whiddon?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- 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
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whiddon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
