Coloured bath resurfacing in Golden Hill, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Golden Hill
Do you cover Golden Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Golden Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Golden Hill and the rest of Bristol. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bristol.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Golden Hill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

What affects the price in Golden Hill
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
