About our coloured bath resurfacing in Charvil
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically 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, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Charvil, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Charvil
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A suite that doesn’t 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
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
