What we can’t put right

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wiggaton, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Wiggaton

Is it messy?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Wiggaton?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Wiggaton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wiggaton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Wiggaton

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
