Coloured bath resurfacing in Hendra without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Hendra
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Hendra
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Hendra
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hendra?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
