About our coloured bath resurfacing in Overpool
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Overpool and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Overpool questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CH66 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Overpool
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
Repairing versus replacing in Overpool
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Overpool
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Overpool
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
