- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Tockenham without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tockenham
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Tockenham and the rest of Swindon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tockenham. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tockenham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
