Coloured bath resurfacing in Ravenswood, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What else we do in Ravenswood
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ravenswood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
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.
Advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ravenswood
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Ravenswood
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
