Coloured bath resurfacing in Birchover, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Birchover
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not 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 booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Birchover
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Birchover?
We do. We send a technician to Birchover for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

There are no surprise 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.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Birchover
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
