Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Letchworth Garden City
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or 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 usually put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Letchworth Garden City and across Hertfordshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Letchworth Garden City. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
