Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Eggleston homes
We travel to Eggleston for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Coloured bath resurfacing in Eggleston without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Eggleston. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Eggleston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eggleston
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Eggleston: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Eggleston included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
