How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Holmethorpe
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holmethorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Holmethorpe questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmethorpe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
