Coloured bath resurfacing in Aldham, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Aldham
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Aldham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aldham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For a price in Aldham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Aldham
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Aldham. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
