Coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Newtown
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
