How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hilton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Hilton
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Hilton: your questions answered
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hilton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Hilton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Hilton
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
