Coloured bath resurfacing in Knossington, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Most customers in Knossington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What affects the price in Knossington
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Knossington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Knossington
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
