Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Began
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Began
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 pictures, as it can add time.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Began
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Began included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
