Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Bitteswell
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bitteswell
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bitteswell, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
