How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Heron Cross
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Heron Cross. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Heron Cross
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare 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.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Questions from Heron Cross
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Heron Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Heron Cross. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairing versus replacing in Heron Cross
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
