Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Bowlee
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Bowlee, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Coloured bath resurfacing in Bowlee, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bowlee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowlee as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What else we do in Bowlee
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Bowlee
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
