Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Friar's Gate
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Friar's Gate, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Friar's Gate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why Friar's Gate customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
