About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ide
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Ide: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ide. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ide. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
