How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Nottingham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Nottingham questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Are there extra charges for Nottingham?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Nottingham?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG5 postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Nottingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
