Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Knapp
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
