Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Houghton on the Hill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Houghton on the Hill
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to Houghton on the Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Houghton on the Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
