About our coloured bath resurfacing in New Gate
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. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for New Gate
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for New Gate?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes New Gate. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in New Gate
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
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 quote the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
