Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sutton Howgrave
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Sutton Howgrave
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton Howgrave use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not 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 before booking.
