How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in East Whitburn
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in East Whitburn
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- 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
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to East Whitburn. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

- A photo taken from further back

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
