About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Shelton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Common questions in Lower Shelton
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
