Coloured bath resurfacing in Kelloe, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repairing versus replacing in Kelloe
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Kelloe: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Kelloe?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kelloe. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kelloe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
