How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bearwood
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Bearwood
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Bearwood?
We do. We send a technician to Bearwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bearwood?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- How to look after the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bearwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
