Coloured bath resurfacing in Colgate, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Colgate
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Colgate?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Colgate
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What affects the price in Colgate
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
If you are in Colgate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Colgate clients choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
