Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Blackfell
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Blackfell
Do you cover Blackfell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blackfell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blackfell, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Blackfell
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we’re called out for in Blackfell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
