Coloured bath resurfacing in West Herrington, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from West Herrington
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in West Herrington
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in West Herrington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
