How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hale
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Covering Hale
Hale is about 8 miles south-east of Salisbury, in Hampshire. We visit clients in Hale and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. Our nearest city page is London, about 79 miles away.
All of SP6 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Jobs here include addresses on Hatchet Green and Queen Street. We also travel to Hatchet Green (1 mile north-east), North Charford (1 mile north-east), Woodfalls (1 mile north), Bohemia (1 mile east) and Lover (1 mile north-east).

Local landmarks in Hale

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Hale questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hale?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
