Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chesser
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour 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 are paying for.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Chesser
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Chesser is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chesser
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Chesser, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Chesser
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
