Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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, normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Harraton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
