About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ellington
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Ellington questions
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What affects the price in Ellington
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Ellington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ellington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Ellington customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When to call us in Ellington
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.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
