How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Hallingbury
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Hallingbury
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK

Common questions in Great Hallingbury
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
