About our coloured bath resurfacing in Timber Bush
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’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Timber Bush and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Timber Bush
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
See our pricing and bath cost comparison.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Timber Bush
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
