Coloured bath resurfacing in Alresford without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Alresford
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Common problems we fix in Alresford
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
