Repairing versus replacing in Lickfold
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lickfold without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
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 Lickfold
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Lickfold
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When to call us in Lickfold
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
