How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whittington
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Whittington?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we are called out for in Whittington
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Whittington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
