Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirby Cross, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Kirby Cross
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Are there extra charges for Kirby Cross?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Kirby Cross?
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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
