Coloured bath resurfacing in Apperknowle, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally 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 faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Apperknowle. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Apperknowle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Apperknowle

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Apperknowle
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
