How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Alt
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Alt
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Alt?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alt. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Alt
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Alt contact us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alt. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Alt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
