Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Layer Marney
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Layer Marney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Layer Marney?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Layer Marney
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Layer Marney. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Layer Marney
Are there extra charges for Layer Marney?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
