Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Budds
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Budds questions
Do you work in Budds?
We do. We send a technician to Budds for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Budds?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Budds
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For a price in Budds, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
