Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackhall without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Blackhall
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you work in Blackhall?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blackhall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Blackhall and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
