Coloured bath resurfacing in Heage without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Heage
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.

Advice
FAQs for Heage
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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 I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Heage?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
