Advice
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Skinner's Hill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
In a village or hamlet like Skinner's Hill, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.

Questions from Skinner's Hill
I let a flat near Sandown station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price.
Will you travel to Skinner's Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Skinner's Hill
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
In the older streets of Skinner's Hill, around landmarks like All Saints' Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. For a rural home like those around Skinner's Hill, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
