- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cat Bank
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Cat Bank
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Cat Bank: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Cat Bank
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
