  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Breedon on the Hill

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Breedon on the Hill: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Breedon on the Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
