Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bitterne
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Bitterne
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- 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 does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Bitterne
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
