How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Henbury
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Henbury questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work in Henbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Henbury. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
