Coloured bath resurfacing in Bishopsgate, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bishopsgate. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself 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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
