Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ayot St Peter
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Ayot St Peter
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ayot St Peter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
