How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Portswood
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Portswood
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Portswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What we can’t put right
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Portswood, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
