Coloured bath resurfacing in Fratton, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Fratton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Fratton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fratton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fratton
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Portsmouth.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of Portsmouth?
All of Portsmouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
