Coloured bath resurfacing in Drinkstone without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Drinkstone and across Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Drinkstone
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Repairing versus replacing in Drinkstone
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

Common questions in Drinkstone
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Drinkstone?
We do. We send a technician to Drinkstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlord and trade work in Drinkstone
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Drinkstone. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP30 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
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 a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
