Coloured bath resurfacing in Macmerry, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Macmerry as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Macmerry
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Macmerry: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Macmerry?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- 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 pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Macmerry?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Macmerry
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
