What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Erdington
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Erdington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Erdington
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Erdington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
