Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Quy Waters, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include

- Whether they match the colour on site

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Quy Waters, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Quy Waters use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Quy Waters
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Quy Waters
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB1 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
