When to call us in Newbank
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newbank
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newbank, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
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 with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Newbank: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
