About our coloured bath resurfacing in Yaxley
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Yaxley: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Yaxley
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Yaxley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
