How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whinfield
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Whinfield. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whinfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Whinfield
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
