Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- 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
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hinton
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hinton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hinton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
