The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Inkpen
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Inkpen
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Inkpen?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Inkpen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Inkpen
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Inkpen contact us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
