Coloured bath resurfacing in Lanescot without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
