Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Northam
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Northam. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Northam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
