FAQs for Coltstone
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Coltstone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coltstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Coltstone
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Coltstone
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
