Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Blackhill
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Blackhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Blackhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Blackhill
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Blackhill

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Blackhill. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Blackhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
