Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Great Shefford questions
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
