  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tetsworth, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 booking.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
