Coloured bath resurfacing in Basford without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Basford
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Basford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Basford. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Basford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 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.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
