Coloured bath resurfacing in Checkley without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Checkley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Checkley. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Checkley

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

FAQs for Checkley
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
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 worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Checkley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Checkley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
