Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Red Lodge homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Red Lodge, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Red Lodge
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Red Lodge
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Red Lodge?
We do. We send a technician to Red Lodge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Red Lodge?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Landlord and trade work in Red Lodge
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Red Lodge as well as homeowners. 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. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What we’re called out for in Red Lodge
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
