Coloured suite to white in Dundonald, Castlereagh
Our technicians come to Dundonald for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dundonald
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Castlereagh. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 before you book.

Common questions in Dundonald
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Dundonald?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Dundonald. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dundonald, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Dundonald
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
