Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Hincaster homes
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Hincaster: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hincaster
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Hincaster
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Hincaster questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What else we do in Hincaster
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hincaster. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Hincaster and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hincaster. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
