Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown Common
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown Common without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Newtown Common
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any 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, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newtown Common, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
