Coloured bath resurfacing in Parkside without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When to call us in Parkside
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Parkside contact us are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Parkside
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Parkside?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Parkside
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Parkside
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add 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
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
