How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Nettlesworth
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common problems we fix in Nettlesworth
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
For a price in Nettlesworth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Nettlesworth: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Repair or replace in Nettlesworth?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nettlesworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
