How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Derby
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derby. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
