Coloured bath resurfacing in Cattedown, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Cattedown
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Cattedown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Cattedown
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
