Coloured bath resurfacing in Matley without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- A fixed quote before you book
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What else we do in Matley
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Matley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Matley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
