Common problems we fix in Arden
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Arden
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Arden
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G46 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Arden included. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Arden and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
