About our coloured bath resurfacing in Barripper
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Barripper?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Barripper
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work in Barripper?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Barripper from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What else we do in Barripper
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barripper
For anyone letting property in or around Barripper, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
