About our coloured bath resurfacing in Northleigh
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Northleigh and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Northleigh

Landlord and trade work in Northleigh
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Northleigh
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work in Northleigh?
We do. We send a technician to Northleigh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- 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.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Northleigh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
