Coloured bath resurfacing in Rooks Nest, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
