Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Addiscombe
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Addiscombe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Addiscombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Addiscombe questions
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Addiscombe?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Addiscombe. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
