Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Zeal Monachorum
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Zeal Monachorum
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Zeal Monachorum. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Zeal Monachorum. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
