Coloured bath resurfacing in Merritown without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Merritown
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Merritown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Merritown?
We do. We send a technician to Merritown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Merritown
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.
Look out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
