Coloured bath resurfacing across Sea Mills and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sea Mills
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sea Mills as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Sea Mills
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sea Mills. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
