Coloured bath resurfacing in Apsley without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Apsley
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Apsley?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- 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
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Apsley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Apsley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
