- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Little Laver
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Laver
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Questions from Little Laver
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Little Laver, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
