Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Swaythling
We travel to Swaythling for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Swaythling
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Swaythling
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- 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’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
