How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ilsington
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Ilsington questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Ilsington?
We do. Technicians travel to Ilsington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT2 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilsington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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 typically cheaper.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
