Coloured bath resurfacing in Hewas Water without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Questions from Hewas Water
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hewas Water?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Hewas Water
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Hewas Water contact us are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
