Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Holmside
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holmside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Holmside
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Other services in Holmside
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
