Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lyons
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
FAQs for Lyons
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Lyons?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What affects the price in Lyons
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Lyons, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
