About our coloured bath resurfacing in Draethen
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Draethen
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repairing versus replacing in Draethen
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Draethen clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Draethen
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Draethen
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
