Coloured bath resurfacing in Newfield, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
