About our coloured bath resurfacing in Barkestone-le-Vale
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Peace of mind is built in: 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.

What we do, step by step
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 one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Barkestone-le-Vale. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Nottinghamshire.

Honest limits
We will not 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
