About our coloured bath resurfacing in North End
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in North End
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Repairing versus replacing in North End
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for North End
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to North End?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to North End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
