Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Hitchin
We travel to Hitchin for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What affects the price in Hitchin
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hitchin without replacing anything
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 selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Hitchin
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, 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 you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hitchin?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Hitchin questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hitchin?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
