Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Gillow Heath homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Gillow Heath, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Gillow Heath, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Advice
Questions from Gillow Heath
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
