Coloured suite to white in Ash, Shropshire
We travel to Ash for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ash, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ash and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ash, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Ash
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Ash
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
