Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Custom House homes
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Custom House and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Custom House
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Custom House
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
