How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Highweek
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Highweek, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace in Highweek?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
