Coloured bath resurfacing in Porthill, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Porthill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Porthill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Porthill questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover Porthill?
We do. We send a technician to Porthill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Landlord and trade work in Porthill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
