Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Higher Ansty
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Higher Ansty as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Ansty as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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 without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What we’re called out for in Higher Ansty
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Higher Ansty
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
