Coloured bath resurfacing in Gileston, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Gileston?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
