Coloured suite to white in Newport, Gloucestershire
Our repair technicians come to Newport for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Newport, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Newport
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:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Questions from Newport
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newport.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Newport?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Newport and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
