Coloured bath resurfacing in Aldercar without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Aldercar
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE75 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
