Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Forton Heath
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Forton Heath. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Forton Heath
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Forton Heath
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Forton Heath?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Forton Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
