How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. For a home in Downton, we normally park close by and start straight away, after agreeing the plan with you.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Downton
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. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
In a smaller place like Downton, homes are often houses and bungalows rather than flats. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing saves replacing it.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Downton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
In the older streets of Downton, around landmarks like Church of St Laurence, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.

- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Downton
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. For a home around Downton where the suite is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Questions from Downton
Is it worth repairing old coloured suites in a period home in Downton?
Usually, yes. Older coloured suites are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Downton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Downton?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Landlord and trade work in Downton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
