Coloured bath resurfacing in Layer-de-la-Haye without replacing anything
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Layer-de-la-Haye. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Layer-de-la-Haye and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Layer-de-la-Haye
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Layer-de-la-Haye as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
