Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Gore, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

We do. Technicians travel to Old Gore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Old Gore. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll say what we think.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Old Gore
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.
Common reasons people in Old Gore contact us are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
