Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hestingott
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Hestingott
Do you come to Hestingott?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hestingott. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hestingott
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hestingott as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
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
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Hestingott get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
