How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hillsborough
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Hillsborough
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.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
