When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Coloured bath resurfacing in Millbridge, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Millbridge questions
Are there extra charges for Millbridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take 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.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
