About our coloured bath resurfacing in Coates
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Coates
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
