Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Allerston
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Allerston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What else we do in Allerston
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Repairing versus replacing in Allerston
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white 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 pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Allerston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
