About our coloured bath resurfacing in Podimore
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Questions from Podimore
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace in Podimore?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Podimore use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Podimore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire suite
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
