Coloured bath resurfacing in Alphington without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alphington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Alphington
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you work in Alphington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Alphington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alphington
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Common problems we fix in Alphington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
