Coloured bath resurfacing in Allercombe, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Allercombe. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When to call us in Allercombe
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- 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
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Allercombe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Allercombe?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
