Coloured bath resurfacing in Ham, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Ham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Questions from Ham
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
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.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Ham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.
Repairing versus replacing in Ham
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start 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.
