About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bentley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Bentley
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bentley
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Bentley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bentley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
