Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Apsley End
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 suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Apsley End
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Apsley End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Apsley End?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Apsley End
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Apsley End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Apsley End?
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.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
