Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Washbrook. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo 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 you are under no obligation.

Questions from Washbrook
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Washbrook?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Washbrook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Washbrook?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
