About our coloured bath resurfacing in Blackgang
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackgang as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Blackgang: your questions answered
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Blackgang?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Blackgang included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Blackgang
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackgang. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Blackgang, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
