Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bolnhurst
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bolnhurst, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Bolnhurst
Do you cover Bolnhurst?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bolnhurst and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bolnhurst.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are there extra charges for Bolnhurst?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bolnhurst as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Bolnhurst
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
