Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Hirst
Our repair technicians come to Hirst for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hirst
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Hirst: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hirst. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
Repair or replace in Hirst?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Hirst clients choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business

When to call us in Hirst
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Hirst

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