Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lydlinch
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Lydlinch and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Lydlinch
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
