Coloured bath resurfacing in Medbourne, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
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.
Common problems we fix in Medbourne
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Medbourne: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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 will get one combined price.
