Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Todber

Coloured bath resurfacing in Todber, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Todber

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Todber. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Todber

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
