How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Halfway Houses

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
