How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Should you replace it?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Upper Green: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Upper Green and the rest of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Upper Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
