About our coloured bath resurfacing in Leadgate
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Leadgate
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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 we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Leadgate?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
