Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Amwell without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

In a village or hamlet like Little Amwell, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. For a rural home like those around Little Amwell, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there. In a village or hamlet like Little Amwell, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Little Amwell

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

If you let a flat or house near St Margarets (Herts) station (about 1.5 miles east), we repair coloured suites between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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