Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Formby without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Formby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What else we do in Formby
Landlord and trade work in Formby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Formby?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Formby. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire suite
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
