Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Richmond
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Richmond
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.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Richmond
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Richmond
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Richmond get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
