Repairing versus replacing in Idbury
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Idbury
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Idbury
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Idbury?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
