Coloured bath resurfacing in Burton End without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Burton End
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Burton End questions
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM24 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
What we are called out for in Burton End
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
