Coloured bath resurfacing in Swinstead without replacing anything
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 selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What else we do in Swinstead
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Swinstead
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What we are called out for in Swinstead
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Repair or replace in Swinstead?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinstead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
