Repairing versus replacing in Close House
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Close House
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Close House
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Close House?
We do. We send a technician to Close House for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Close House
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
