What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in New Smithy
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in New Smithy
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Smithy
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in New Smithy
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
