Repair or replace in Cairns?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cairns
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
If you are in Cairns and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cairns
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cairns?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

For anyone letting property in or around Cairns, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
