Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Heathlane
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Heathlane
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlord and trade work in Heathlane
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heathlane as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Heathlane. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
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. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
