Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Skimpot
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Skimpot
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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Skimpot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Skimpot
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Skimpot contact us are:
- Faded or patchy colour

- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

What affects the price in Skimpot
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Skimpot get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
