How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ridge
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ridge?
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ridge
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Ridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridge
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
