How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Mitchell
A full suite is generally done in one to 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 a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Mitchell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Mitchell
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
