Coloured bath resurfacing in Makeney, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Makeney
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before you book.

What else we do in Makeney
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Makeney. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE56 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
