Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Dosthill
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Dosthill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Dosthill without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dosthill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Dosthill questions
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
