Coloured bath resurfacing in Forest Side without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forest Side and across Isle of Wight. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Forest Side
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Forest Side
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Forest Side. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Forest Side and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
