Coloured bath resurfacing in Waterdale, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, 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.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Waterdale, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Waterdale
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Waterdale
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that does not 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
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Waterdale
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
