Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Halfway
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. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Halfway
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Halfway questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Halfway?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
