Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Rough Common homes
Coloured bath resurfacing across Rough Common and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Coloured bath resurfacing in Rough Common without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rough Common questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Rough Common?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Rough Common?
We do. We send a technician to Rough Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Repairing versus replacing in Rough Common
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
