Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stramshall
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Stramshall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Stramshall
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Stramshall questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Stramshall is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
