About our coloured bath resurfacing in New Houses

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in New Houses

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in New Houses contact us include:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in New Houses get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why New Houses customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from New Houses

Do you come to New Houses?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to New Houses for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
