Coloured bath resurfacing in Haswell, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Haswell. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Haswell
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Haswell?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Haswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

- Faded or patchy colour

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
