Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Gorebridge
We travel to Gorebridge for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gorebridge
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Gorebridge
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Gorebridge
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorebridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry

When a repair is not the answer
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Gorebridge
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
