Coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Key without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new 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, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Lower Key questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Lower Key?
We do. We send a technician to Lower Key for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Lower Key get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Lower Key
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Lower Key, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
