Coloured bath resurfacing in Coalhill without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Coalhill as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace in Coalhill?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Coalhill

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coalhill
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Coalhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Coalhill

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
