How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Blacksmith's Corner
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Blacksmith's Corner
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in Blacksmith's Corner
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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, normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
