Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Roche
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Roche
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Roche questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Roche
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
