Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ellistown
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Ellistown
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlord and trade work in Ellistown
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellistown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Ellistown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Ellistown: your questions answered
Do you come to Ellistown?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ellistown. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Across the UK, so Ellistown is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
