Coloured bath resurfacing in King Street, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in King Street
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in King Street
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in King Street.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in King Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
