How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bigton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bigton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Bigton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bigton
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bigton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Bigton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
If you’re in Bigton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
