Coloured suite to white in Merrivale, Herefordshire
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Merrivale: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Merrivale
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Merrivale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Merrivale questions
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Merrivale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Merrivale and the rest of Herefordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merrivale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
