About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lightburn
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Lightburn
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- 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
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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 booking.
Materials we work on in Lightburn
- Whole bathroom suites

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What information do you need?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lightburn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lightburn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
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.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
