Coloured bath resurfacing in Hornton, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Hornton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Hornton
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Common problems we fix in Hornton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
