What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not 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.
Materials we repair

- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cheltenham
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Cheltenham
If you manage property in Cheltenham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Cheltenham
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole suite
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cheltenham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Cheltenham
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Cheltenham
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cheltenham. Prices don’t change with location.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cheltenham?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL51 postcode.
