How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Poslingford
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Poslingford. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Poslingford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole suite
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Poslingford
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

FAQs for Poslingford
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Poslingford?
We do. We send a technician to Poslingford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
