Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Irstead
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Irstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Irstead, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Irstead
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
