Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hengrave without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
