About our coloured bath resurfacing in Little Abington

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 work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

Questions from Little Abington

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Abington. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
