About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dumbiedykes
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Dumbiedykes?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK

Dumbiedykes questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Dumbiedykes?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
