Coloured bath resurfacing in Newhall, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newhall. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
