Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Avonwick
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Avonwick
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Avonwick included. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
