Coloured bath resurfacing in Fairfield without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Fairfield
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Fairfield
If you manage property in Fairfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
