Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Idole homes
We travel to Idole for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Idole without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Idole?
We do. We send a technician to Idole for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites

- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
