How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Old Tupton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Old Tupton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Old Tupton: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Tupton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
