Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Guide Post
Coloured bath resurfacing across Guide Post and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Guide Post without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Guide Post
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Guide Post
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place

Guide Post questions
Do you come to Guide Post?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Guide Post. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
