Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Jacob's Post
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Jacob's Post as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
When to call us in Jacob's Post
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Jacob's Post questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Jacob's Post?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Jacob's Post. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Jacob's Post?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
