Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in High Pittington
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
