How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Halfpenny
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Halfpenny. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Halfpenny get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

- Coloured basins
Repairing versus replacing in Halfpenny
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
