How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Garve
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Garve
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Garve. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Garve
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Garve?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Garve?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Garve from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Garve, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
