Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Billing without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Great Billing
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlord and trade work in Great Billing
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
