Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Birkhill
We travel to Birkhill for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Birkhill
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Common questions in Birkhill
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Birkhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Birkhill
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
