Coloured bath resurfacing in Watford without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Watford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Watford
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Watford. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Watford
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Watford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For a price in Watford, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Watford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
