Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Kippford
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kippford. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
