Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gib Heath
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gib Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Gib Heath and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gib Heath
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
