Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hethe
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

Questions from Hethe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Hethe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hethe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Are there extra charges for Hethe?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
