When we’d advise against a repair
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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Eastville
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Eastville?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Eastville for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Bristol?
We work UK-wide, so Eastville is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Eastville?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
