Coloured bath resurfacing in Plains Farm, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. 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.

What else we do in Plains Farm
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Plains Farm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Plains Farm, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Plains Farm?
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.
