Coloured bath resurfacing in Elder Street, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Elder Street
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Elder Street
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Elder Street included. Travel is included in the price.
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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
