How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Mickleover
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Mickleover
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mickleover. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Mickleover
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Mickleover?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Mickleover?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mickleover from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
