About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hallgarth
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hallgarth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hallgarth
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hallgarth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hallgarth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
