Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Wattisham homes
Our repair technicians come to Wattisham for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wattisham, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Wattisham
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Landlord and trade work in Wattisham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Wattisham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Customers typically contact us about:
