Coloured bath resurfacing in Garden Suburb, done in place
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, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Garden Suburb and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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)

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Garden Suburb get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
