Coloured bath resurfacing in Locking without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Locking
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you cover the entire of North Somerset?
The whole UK, including all of North Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Locking
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Locking. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

What we do, step by step

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
