Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Low Westwood
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
When to call us in Low Westwood
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
