Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Heath without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Little Heath
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Little Heath?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole suite
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
