How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tonwell
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

When to call us in Tonwell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tonwell. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Tonwell: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Tonwell?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Tonwell?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
