Coloured bath resurfacing in Cardrona Village, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Cardrona Village
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cardrona Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
