Coloured bath resurfacing in Chinese Quarter without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chinese Quarter and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chinese Quarter?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we’d advise against a repair
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.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
