What we are called out for in Hedge End
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hedge End
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Hedge End
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hedge End?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO30 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
