A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 usually cheaper.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in High Orchard

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.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
