Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Derringstone
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Derringstone questions
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Derringstone?
We do. We send a technician to Derringstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Repair or replace in Derringstone?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Derringstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlords, agents and businesses in Derringstone
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Derringstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
