How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hill Dale
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after 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 booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hill Dale, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Hill Dale
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
