Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Grub Street

- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Grub Street, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Grub Street
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Grub Street?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Grub Street. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grub Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Grub Street?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Grub Street. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
