About our coloured bath resurfacing in Stone Street
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Stone Street
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Stone Street questions
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Stone Street?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stone Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Stone Street, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
