About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mistley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Mistley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Mistley. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Mistley
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
