About our coloured bath resurfacing in Frome
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole suite
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Frome?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

FAQs for Frome
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Frome?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Frome from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.

- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
