Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lower Hartshay
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Lower Hartshay: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Lower Hartshay?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
