Coloured bath resurfacing in Iveston without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Iveston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Iveston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Iveston questions
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Iveston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Iveston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
