Coloured bath resurfacing in Janetstown, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Janetstown. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Janetstown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Janetstown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
