Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Limeside
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Most customers in Limeside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
