How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harlaston
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harlaston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not 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 normally the cheaper route.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Harlaston. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Harlaston
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

We cover the whole UK, including Harlaston and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
