About our coloured bath resurfacing in St Leonard's
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Leonard's as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays

Repairing versus replacing in St Leonard's
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Leonard's?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to St Leonard's. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
