How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Wavertree, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Wavertree
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Wavertree: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Liverpool. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What we’re called out for in Wavertree
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wavertree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
