Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Parton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Parton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Parton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA28 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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.

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
