Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

FAQs for Scissett
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Scissett. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
