How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lockington
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Lockington
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lockington. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Lockington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lockington
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Lockington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Lockington
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
