About our coloured bath resurfacing in Norcot
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, 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 suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Norcot
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Norcot: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Norcot included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Norcot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
What we cannot put right
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norcot as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What else we do in Norcot
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
