About our coloured bath resurfacing in Childrey
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Childrey and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Childrey
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Childrey: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
