Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newtown
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newtown as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
