Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Coxhoe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Coxhoe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
