About our coloured bath resurfacing in Old Town
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Old Town
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Old Town
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Old Town?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Old Town. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
