Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Buchanhaven
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Somewhere as small as Buchanhaven, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Buchanhaven
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Buchanhaven
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. In an older home in a village like Buchanhaven, replacing a suite can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Generally one visit, start to finish

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use. For a rural address like Buchanhaven, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the coloured bath resurfacing comes with us in one trip.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Buchanhaven questions
Will you travel to Buchanhaven?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, with the same prices as anywhere else.
My house in Buchanhaven is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Buchanhaven
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A suite that doesn’t 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
In the older streets of Buchanhaven, around landmarks like St Andrew's Church Of Scotland Parish Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
