Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Trash Green homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Trash Green, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Trash Green
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Trash Green
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Trash Green
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Trash Green. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trash Green
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
