Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tongland
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
For a rural address like Tongland, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will take care of the rest.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Tongland
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. For a rural home like those around Tongland, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.
Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before booking
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
Take a look at our Prices page Or Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tongland
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Tongland
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Somewhere as small as Tongland, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When to call us in Tongland
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Tongland Parish Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
