About our coloured bath resurfacing in Blackwell
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Blackwell
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any 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
Before you book anyone

- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before you book
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Blackwell
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Blackwell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Blackwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Blackwell

- Access to the area

Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Blackwell, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
