About our coloured bath resurfacing in Arle
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Arle
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Landlord and trade work in Arle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit

Arle questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Arle?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL51 postcode.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Arle. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Other services in Arle
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
