Coloured suite to white in Houghton, Hampshire
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Houghton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t 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.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Houghton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Houghton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Houghton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you hold any accreditations?

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Houghton?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
