Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Borstal
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Borstal
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Borstal, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for Borstal
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
