Coloured bath resurfacing in East Bowling, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Bowling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for East Bowling
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the entire of Bradford?
Everywhere in the UK, East Bowling included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Landlord and trade work in East Bowling
