- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Toogs
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Toogs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Toogs: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
We cover the whole UK, including Toogs and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
