Coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newtown and across Wokingham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our full price list or bath cost comparison.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Newtown
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Newtown: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Newtown?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newtown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RG1 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
