About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sowood
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sowood
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Sowood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sowood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
