Coloured bath resurfacing in Mangotsfield without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Mangotsfield. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mangotsfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it

Mangotsfield: your questions answered
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mangotsfield?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that does not 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
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
