Coloured bath resurfacing in Handsworth Wood without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Repairing versus replacing in Handsworth Wood
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

More services for Handsworth Wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Handsworth Wood
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
