- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Sudbourne, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sudbourne
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

- Faded or patchy colour

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.

Advice
Sudbourne questions
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Sudbourne. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
