Coloured bath resurfacing in Portland, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. 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.

When a repair is not the answer
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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Portland
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Portland, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Portland. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Portland
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Portland?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Portland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
