About our coloured bath resurfacing in Herrington
A full suite is typically done in one to 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 coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Herrington
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
