Coloured bath resurfacing in Team Colliery without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Team Colliery questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Team Colliery. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Team Colliery, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When to call us in Team Colliery
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
