Coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Broughton questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton
If you manage property in Broughton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the entire UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
