Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Coleford
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Coleford as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Coleford questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you cover Coleford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Coleford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Coleford

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
