Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Killay
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Killay
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace in Killay?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
