Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Abbey Field
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Abbey Field
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbey Field as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Abbey Field
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
