Coloured bath resurfacing in Gorseness without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gorseness
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- 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

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. 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 what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Gorseness
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
