Coloured bath resurfacing in Awkley, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Awkley?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Awkley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Awkley. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
If you are in Awkley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
