Coloured bath resurfacing for Little Green homes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Green, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in Little Green

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Green

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Little Green

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Little Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
