Coloured bath resurfacing in Althorpe, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
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 price.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Althorpe
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.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
