Coloured bath resurfacing in Fareham, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. 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 whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
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’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fareham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected

Landlord and trade work in Fareham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Fareham questions
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
