Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sinfin
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sinfin as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sinfin. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sinfin
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
