When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Intake. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Intake
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Intake and the rest of Sheffield. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Intake. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
