How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ford
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ford as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ford
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your L21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ford
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
