Repairing versus replacing in Hillcommon
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

What else we do in Hillcommon
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When to call us in Hillcommon
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hillcommon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
