Coloured bath resurfacing in Houghton without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Houghton: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Houghton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Houghton?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
