About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kelstedge
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Common problems we fix in Kelstedge
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Kelstedge contact us are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Kelstedge: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
