Look out for these signs:

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ellel without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no 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 a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Ellel get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ellel
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.
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 typically cheaper.
