Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Richmond Hill
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 a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Richmond Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Richmond Hill
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Richmond Hill?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Richmond Hill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, 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.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Richmond Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Richmond Hill?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
