When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Tinhay
Replacing a coloured suite 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Tinhay: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Tinhay?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Tinhay?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tinhay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tinhay
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 normally cheaper.
