Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Datchworth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Datchworth
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Datchworth
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Datchworth
If you manage property in Datchworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
