About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kirksanton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
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 will not last.
FAQs for Kirksanton
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kirksanton.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
