About our coloured bath resurfacing in Castle
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Castle
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work in Castle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Castle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK40 postcode.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Castle, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Castle and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
