About our coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Shotton
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We turn 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. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Questions from Higher Shotton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t 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.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
