How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Marsh Lane
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Marsh Lane?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Marsh Lane
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Marsh Lane
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Marsh Lane
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
