Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Down without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Old Down and across South Gloucestershire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Other services in Old Down
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace in Old Down?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Old Down
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Gloucestershire.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Down use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Down. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Honest limits
In fairness, 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
