Coloured bath resurfacing in Maker, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

What else we do in Maker
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Maker. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Maker
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in Maker
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Maker questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
