Coloured suite to white in Highnam, Gloucestershire
Our repair technicians come to Highnam for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive

- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When we’d advise against a repair
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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Highnam
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Highnam
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
