DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ripley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Ripley
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 generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Ripley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
